WooCommerce provides you many useful hooks (actions/filters) to perform different functionalities on content manipulation and display setup. In this article, we will describe the method of grouping WooCommerce products of the same author/vendor on a WordPress website.

The products on shipping calculator will be grouped using woocommerce_cart_shipping_packages filter. You just need to insert the following code in your Theme’s functions.php file or custom plugin:

<?php

class pt_woo_cart_group {

    public function __construct() {
        add_filter('woocommerce_cart_shipping_packages', array($this, 'group_cart'));
    }

    /**
     * Grouping cart by products' authors/vendors
     * using filter woocommerce_cart_shipping_packages
     * 
     * @param array $packages
     * @return array
     */
    public function group_cart($packages) {
        // Reset the packages
        $packages_reset = array();

        $i = 0;
        foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_index => $item) {
            $item_data = $item['data'];
            if ($item_data->needs_shipping()) {
                $post_author = get_post_field('post_author', $item_data->id);
                $packages_reset[$post_author]['contents'][] = $item;
                $packages_reset[$post_author]['shipping_options'] = $packages[$i]['shipping_options'];
                $packages_reset[$post_author]['applied_coupons'] = WC()->cart->applied_coupons;
                $packages_reset[$post_author]['destination'] = $packages[$i]['destination'];
            }
            $i++;
        }

        //  merging manipulation of prices
        foreach ($packages_reset as $package_ind => $package_reset) {
            $packages_reset[$package_ind]['contents_cost'] = array_sum(wp_list_pluck($package_reset, 'line_total'));
        }

        return $packages_reset;
    }

}

new pt_woo_cart_group();

<?php

class pt_woo_cart_group {

public function __construct() {

add_filter('woocommerce_cart_shipping_packages', array($this, 'group_cart'));

}

/**

* Grouping cart by products' authors/vendors

* using filter woocommerce_cart_shipping_packages

* @param array $packages

* @return array

public function group_cart($packages) {

// Reset the packages

$packages_reset = array();

$i = 0;

foreach (WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_index => $item) {

$item_data = $item['data'];

if ($item_data->needs_shipping()) {

$post_author = get_post_field('post_author', $item_data->id);

$packages_reset[$post_author]['contents'][] = $item;

$packages_reset[$post_author]['shipping_options'] = $packages[$i]['shipping_options'];

$packages_reset[$post_author]['applied_coupons'] = WC()->cart->applied_coupons;

$packages_reset[$post_author]['destination'] = $packages[$i]['destination'];

}

$i++;

}

// merging manipulation of prices

foreach ($packages_reset as $package_ind => $package_reset) {

$packages_reset[$package_ind]['contents_cost'] = array_sum(wp_list_pluck($package_reset, 'line_total'));

}

return $packages_reset;

}

new pt_woo_cart_group();

Hello there,

How would I go about adjusting this to group products in their respective categories?

Category 1
– Product 3
– Product 7

Category 2
– Product 5
– Product 1

Thanks 🙂

Sven
